OK so, yesterday I went through some odd/funny misconceptions from back when i was a kid, now I’m gonna go through some that I have just found out about recently.
I used to:
- Think Napoleon was short. (He was actually taller than the average Frenchman)
- Think the water spins in a different direction according to where you are on Earth when you flush the toilet. (This only happens in extreme weather, an example being a hurricane/cyclone)
- Think bats were blind. (I was blown away when i found out they weren’t)
- Think chameleons change colour to blend in with their surroundings.
- Meteorites are hot when they hit the Earth’s surface.
- Think putting metal in your microwave was a sure chance of stuffing it up.
- Think Humpty Dumpty was an egg! (He’s actually a canon!)
- Think you could see large man made objects from outer space, an example being The Great Wall of China. (You actually can’t see any man made objects from out of space).
- Think black hole’s suck everything in.
- Think goldfish have a memory of 3 seconds, they can remember things that are months old!
- Think humans evolved from chimpanzees.
- Think air was mostly oxygen, it’s actually mostly Nitrogen.
Anyways, that’s all i could think of. I Hope some of these facts blew you away, like they blew me away!
